The Rock


  My name is Jimmy
I spend my time locked in my head
waves crashing over me
let this rock serve as my bed
I wanna sleep 'till the pain is gone
die if it takes too long
does that sound bad inside a song
I guess only if you take it wrong

This world has beat me black and blue
This world has cut my heart in two

The rock it comes and goes
like the whim of the tide
as fickle as a pretty girl
watching the clock stop when she cries
will she remember me
will she ever really see
let it become let it be
an angst ridden hormonal plea

This world has beat me black and blue
This world has cut my heart in two

I'll carve my name on here
in case someone wants to know
just where I ended up
when I stopped and had to grow
that's it, I've reached the end
from here I guess it all depends
on whom you can call a friend
a willingness to break and bend

This world has beat me black and blue
This world has cut my heart in two

 

Where from? Pete Townshend's Ghost
